I think it's mainly people who live or grew up in the city and are not comfortable in the dark. I see the same thing with people who have their porch light on from dusk to dawn
I guess some people are afraid to see the stars at night. I enjoy sitting outside at the campground and seeing the stars in a dark setting along with the occasional treat of the Northern lights. Listening to the loons and hearing wolves howl in the distance. The lake is like glass if there's a moon. I cannot understand people's fear of the dark that find it necessary to illuminate it like daylight.
